I recently acquired a very neglected albino stingray he is rail thin and I'm trying to bring him back, he is beautiful. I'm having an issue getting him too eat. Granted it's only been 2 days in the tank but I fear how thin he is he needs to eat, I've tried pellets, shrimp, tilapia and he just won't take anything. He hangs out with my other 2 rays and is very active but I just fear if he doesn't eat he will die :( Anyone have an secrets or tricks to try and get him to eat. I don't wanna see him go, he is too beautiful!

+1 to the worms… id be offering red worms or crawlers every hour or so 24/7 until hes back up to proper weight. No dent in between the eyes so theres still a good chance 🤞.
I had one come in with a dent between the eyes before. Worms 24/7 for a few weeks saved it. 💀🤙
 
Lights off and separated from other fish will take a lot of stress off of it being in a new environment. Definitely live worm chopped in half so the ray can find it with ease.
